Derry Peacemakers Museum History Experience

The Peacemakers Museum explores how the North of Ireland moved from decades of violent conflict to the peace we all enjoy and maintain today. Located in the famous Bogside area of Derry in the North of Ireland. The small working class area witnessed some of the key events of the conflict including the Battle of the Bogside and Bloody Sunday. The museum explores the period from August 1972 to May 2007 to explain how the conflict evolved into the peace process and the impact of both on the local area. The museum uses artefacts, oral history, archive footage, interactive features and unique displays to explain how the Agreement was reached, its implementation and its potential implications for the future of the island.

The museum explores the period from August 1972 to May 2007 to explain how the conflict evolved into the peace process and the impact of both on the local area.
The museum uses artefacts, oral history, archive footage, interactive features and unique displays to explain how the Agreement was reached, its implementation and its potential implications for the future of the island.
It also features the key role played by three Bogsiders – John Hume, Martin McGuinness and Mitchel McLaughlin – in creating the conditions that have led to the peace we all enjoy today.

All three men played a key role in developing the 1998 Good Friday Agreement which provided a political template for resolving the conflict and a future which could be determined on the principle of consent.
